Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Ex-Wife He Never Knew: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Lacey called him back and told him my answer in my exact words. I knew he had chosen not to sign the papers when Lacey’s volume increased, “Fine, you have no idea of the shit storm you have created. We will see you in court.” I started feeling dizzy and everything went black.When I opened my eyes, I was in an ambulance with Lacey sitting next to me, “Oh my goodness, Harley! Are you okay?” One of the EMTs asked, “Ms. Frost, you passed out and your blood pressure is running a bit high. We are on the way to the hospital to have you checked out. Okay?”I just nodded, “That’s fine. I figure it’s just stress with all of Victor’s bullshit plus the move. I’ve been having a lot of nightmares about his mother, so that keeps waking me up. My body is just involuntary shutting down to force me to rest.” The EMT answered, “You are probably right.”Lacey sighed, “Well, I don’t want you to talk to him anymore. You let me handle him.” The ambulance stopped and the EMTs wheeled me into an ER bay. They

I put my phone next to me and started sketching, my phone quiet, until one hour later. I saw it was Lacey calling and answered on the second ring, “Hey, did he call you?” She answered with an exasperated sigh, “To be honest, Harley, I think he’s falling in love with you now. He started asking me when you became this confident woman. I laughed at him and told him this was the way you were before you married him”.I laughed, “I bet that’s killing him.” She agreed, “I think you’re right.” I shook my head, “I will never change who I am for a man again.” She answered, “That’s the Harley I know and love. Now, the reason I called is because he wants to speak with you… in person. I told him it would have to be in a public place with me present or recording the conversation. He agreed to record the conversation.”I agreed, “Okay. We can meet for lunch tomorrow at our favorite café.” She replied, “I will let him know. Are you okay?” I nodded, “I’m really good. I took a really long nap, Annie had

When we arrived at the café, Victor and Daya were already waiting at a table. The look on Victor’s face when he saw his brother walk in with me was priceless. Daniel and I looked at each other and smirked at their mouths gaping open. We walked to their table and sat opposite them.I held up one finger, asking them to wait, and I took a voice recorder out of my bag. I turned it on and spoke, “Now that we are all here, Victor, since you chose to bring your mistress, Daya, I brought your brother, Daniel as my witness. So, what did you want to talk to me about?”Victor demanded, “I want the beach house.” I laughed, “We both know that is non-negotiable. I will get the beach house. You have the option to buy another one or to buy some land and build one. You can afford it if you sign the papers that are waiting at your attorney’s office.“If you do not sign them, I will sue for divorce and you know that will not be a quiet ordeal. I will go public with our marriage and show evidence of how y

When we made it out to the parking lot, Angela and Lacey followed us as we followed Victor and Daya. When we watched them get on the interstate toward his offices, I felt safe enough to suggest, “Okay. Looks like he’s going back to work. We can head home now.” He smirked, “Is it my home too?” I chuckled, “I would like for it to be.” He turned to face me so fast I thought he was going to get whiplash, “Do you mean that?”I nodded, biting my lower lip, “I do mean it. Am I going too fast?” He turned back to face the road, “I don’t think so. That’s what I’ve wanted since before I left for boarding school. I always dreamed of us living together, married or not, it never mattered to me. I just wanted to wake up to see your face first thing in the morning every day.” I gushed, “You are so sweet. I would like you to move in with me whenever it’s convenient for you.”He sighed, “Hang on”. He told his car to call dad and it started ringing. Theodore answered on the second ring, “Danny, what’s go

After everyone went home, Daniel and I settled on the couch while Annie and Amy cleaned the kitchen. I asked, “Are you upset with me for doing this?” Daniel shook his head, “Not in the least. I know you want your freedom from him and my stepmother. Hell, I want your freedom from them. I want you as mine for the rest of my life. I can’t wait for the divorce to be final.”I smiled as I snuggled into his arms, “You are my dream man. I would be crazy to give you up.” He asked, “What is the first thing you want to do after the divorce is final?” I shrugged, “I have no clue. I think I want to just relax for a day or two. What do you think?” He asked, “Would you like to help me find a building for my headquarters?”I smiled, “I would love to help you as much as possible. Don’t forget my degree is in design. Not just fashion: it also includes interior design. Angela would be a really big help in finding the building. She gets quite a few exclusive listings that no one else knows about.” He nod
